Beyond environmental protests, we are evolving sustainable lifestyles wherever we are located. The Cumberland Green Bioregional Council was founded in 1984 on the principles of education, networking, and celebration. For years, through workshops, homestead tours, and hands-on demonstrations we have taught each other and those that attend about a wide variety of green-living strategies from biodynamic gardening to alternative energy to health care. Networking goes on whenever we come together, including this Meetup website, building bridges between people and groups from both city and country. Sharing information and resources and getting the word out about Bioregional events is essential in building community. Barter Fairs, seed and plant exchanges, and auctions serve as ways to share the means of survival. Celebrating life together brings us spiritual and emotional support and builds on the sense of community. In addition to meetup events, there is a choice of on-line involvement with this group. When you join, you can chose to receive emails from the Organizers only or you can choose to receive emails from anyone in this meetup group. There is a very lively group of folks who contribute daily on the e-list with lots of good links and discussions and debates. If you elect to receive emails from everyone, you will receive lots of mail from this group. If you chose to receive email from the organizers only, we will send ocasional emails and event announcements to you. GOOD STUFF! A look at the Calendar, past events view and the About Us pages will help you understand this group better. ON THE MESSAGE BOARD YOU WILL FIND MANY HELPFUL EDUCATIONAL ARTICLES AND LINKS! ******************************************************************************** COME JOIN US FOR PART OF ALL OF THE 2013 WINTER GATHERING ACTIVITIES DAY AND EVENING JANUARY 18-20.
